I came to live in Kauai when I was 8 months pregnant with my second daughter- I was freaked out about getting a new Obstetric doctor. I had a c-section previously with my first daughter. This is a big surgery and quiet scary to me because there are so many layers that they need to take time in sewing back up. Dr. Littler, upon my second c-section, removed excess scar tissue from my first c-section. She is highly respected here on the island. I was referred to her by a friend on this island as I was scared to get a new OBGYN so far into my pregnancy. She is a very forward, humorous and engaging doctor- clearly an expert in her field.

So, a couple years ago I had a terrible pap from my primary care physician. It was awkward,…read moreuncomfortable, and a long story that I will have to tell you in person. Anyhow, the only relief after was that I didn't need to go back to get another pap for another year. So, as you can imagine, of course something was wrong, and my PCP referred me to Dr. Littler. Dr Littler was AMAZING, she was so personable and funny and really made me feel at ease! I was grateful to see her and not have another horror story to tell. I have since seen her and her Nurse Practitioner and been more then comfortable to go go regularly instead of skipping a year or two ;) Now that I am pregnant I knew I wanted Dr. Littler to be my OBGYN, however, I discovered that when you go for prenatal at KMC you rotate between the 4 doctors so that whoever is on call when you go into labor is the one that delivers your baby. I am open to it and we shall see how it goes. Linds

This review is about the Waimea branch front desk/reception service (medical services), not about…read morethe doctors or other staff. I had called several times over the period of 2-3 weeks without having my call answered. I understand that they are probably busy and may also be understaffed so that is actually not my complaint about the Waimea Kauai Community Health Center/Ho'ola Lahui Hawaii; it was the poor front desk service. I'm from here, but have never gone to this clinic before. From what I had seen on their website, it seemed like it was open to anyone in the community, which is why I wanted to try scheduling an appointment there in the first place. I called one last time (with the intention of going directly to try to schedule an appointment), when the call was answered. Happy to have gotten in touch with someone, I politely inquired about scheduling an appointment. The receptionist was impatient and rude (when I said that neither of the doctors were my primary care physician, she snapped "You do know we're in Waimea, right?"), which was disappointing considering it is part of Ho'ola's mission to be a "model health care system distinguished by people, quality, and service." It seemed like it was a hassle for the receptionist to ask me the few simple questions that she did, and it felt like I was doing her an inconvenience by calling. Disappointed by the lack of aloha at this "community" health center.

She really examined each tooth thoroughly. She explained everything. I will go back for my work to be done soon. SAMANTHA gave me the best tooth cleaning I ever had in my life. She is a perfectionist and really has a command on her skill. She must be doing this for a long time because she knows how to clean teeth better than anyone I've ever been to and I've been to the best Dentist and Hygentist in Honolulu. SO very impressed with this dental team. And the xray tech and girls at the desk are very professional and nice.

We are so grateful we found Dr. Sparks during our family vacation in Kauai. We first contacted him…read morefor our daughter, and from the very beginning he was incredibly thorough, patient, and educational. He took the time to explain her symptoms, the possible causes, and why he was recommending each medication, making sure we understood everything before starting treatment. A couple of days later, my husband developed painful bumps after snorkeling off the Nā Pali Coast. Dr. Sparks was able to diagnose it from photos as a Portuguese man o' war sting. My niece had the same reaction, and he helped her as well. Once again, he took the time to educate us about the local marine life, the toxins involved, what symptoms to watch for, and how the prescribed medications would help. I especially appreciated how thoughtful and cautious he was with the medications he prescribed. What really sets Dr. Sparks apart is that he truly cares. He reminded me of the kind of village doctor everyone hopes to find--knowledgeable, compassionate, reassuring, and willing to spend the time you need. His mobile service was incredibly convenient. Both my daughter and my husband felt noticeably better very quickly. If you're on Kauai and need medical care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sparks. He provided exceptional care and gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home.

Truthfully, without Dr Sparks, my vacation would have been ruined. I owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. Dr Sparks was incredibly kind and has a bedside manner I haven't encountered in medicine in quite some time. His explanations of various care options were clear and well-thought out. He is an exemplary doctor. Additionally, he was very kind about making sure there was some follow up after the appointment, and told me to get in touch if I'm ever back in the area. He will be my first call if I'm ever back on Kauai!!!!

He's equally invested in using laboratory tests, and medical technology, MRI, EEG, etc. He's had the medical experience at Queen's Hospital of urban Hawaii multi-ethnic and here on Kaua'i for the past decade plus. Regretfully, the one phone the clinic uses requires patience to navigate but you will be rewarded with a pleasant human being once you get through. You will not be able to leave a message and carry on with your day, but will have to persist in calling. As was said previously you will be able to see him within the week but not always that day. If your medical condition allows you to wait he's worth it!

Dr Lanson is still old school--in a good way! You don't find many physicians that still do hands on examinations. Some of the newer physicians I've seen in practice are very hands off. Dr Lanson's schedule is a busy one, but I feel that I am able to get an appointment with him in the same week that I call. It may not be the same day, but they try to accommodate you to the best of their ability. He sees patients in Lihue Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and half day on Friday. On Thursday, he is in their Princeville clinic, serving the residents of the north shore of Kaua'i as well as visitors that need to be seen for any unforeseen circumstance while on vacation but not needing emergency room services.
